From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cries in pipeline hacks for DirectX. Didn't Space Engineers do this?

I am not really sure what you mean with that tbh

Probably space engineers more abuses the direct pipeline than uses it, in ways that translation layers wouldn't be able to emulate the quirks.

Their goal is to be compliant not equivalent

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly. And some do other dirty hacks in DirectX.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, it can't add new ones ether because it's a extra layer and not part of the actual game!
